Mc Goff's Irish Pub & Eatery

When McGoff's first came to town I was very excited. I wasn't 21 yet, but I was looking forward to going there when I did because I had heard they had great beer, music, food, etc. I was quite disappointed when I went there on my 21st and had to beg the staff to play 1 Irish song!!! They were playing typical classic rock. Next, the place is peppered with Miller Lite signs. I don't know, its a nice bar, but frustrating at the same time. They do have really great beer from all over the world, and decent food, but it is a college town-ified Irish pub. It makes too many compromises. It also seems to be very cliquey. It seems like everyone there knows each other and has no interest in non-regulars. I have seen good live bands there, but very rarely have I heard much Irish music. Pros: great beer, live music, good service Cons: small, not very Irish, weird atmosphere more

McGoffs is a great cheers bar of mankato. The crowd is generally regulars that are very fun, nice and accepting of everyone. It's fun when they have bands, which I'm not sure that they do anymore. Staff is generally very nice and fun as well. They actually have really great food at McGoffs and great drink prices! Their well drinks are much better than what most bars downtown have. (Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, Bacardi, Ect.... are considered their well drinks.) more
